Probably in an accident and they put a 65 front clip on it.

Smells like a clone. Seats are also wrong. Dash looks like an aluminum decal Rims maybe Mopar but could also be a buick. I'm not sure Mopar bolt pattern is the same as a Pontiac.I didn't know Chevy made a 389 engine. The things you learn on this forum will stay with me for life.

Buick. For some reason never dug them. Even on a Buick.

Mopar or Buick, still wrong. Like the time I saw a ‘72 Nova wearing Pontiac Rally IIs.

Hard to tell from internet pictures, but that engine looks more red than orange. Still don't know why you'd paint it that color.

Car is a mish-mash of parts but looks pretty clean overall. If it's not rusty it should be worth a decent amount, though his asking price seems pretty steep for what it is.

Agree. In another shot, the plug wires appear to be red.



Didn't another GM division use RED for their engines?
Like, the same division that supplied the Rally wheels??

Wouldn't you rather drive a...

Are you guys saying that the red plug wires make it a Buick engine?

Nope. The combo of both painting the engine red AND using Buick rally wheels makes it look like a Buick wannabe though. Funny thing is, he probably didn't even realize what he had done. Think of it this way, if you saw a Camaro with a Pontiac blue engine AND it was wearing Rally IIs...
